Meals we provide
We follow the Eat Better Start Better Guidelines so that the children at our nursery are provided meals, snacks and drinks that are balanced, healthy and nutritious. All of our meals are prepared on the premises using fresh ingredients by our nursery chef.
At Small World we would like to work closely with you as parents or carers to understand any specific needs your child has with regards to food, including the stage they are at (from weaning onwards) and any intolerances or allergies your child may have, we will find this out at your child’s first settling-in session.
We offer (depending on the session times your child attends) breakfast, a morning snack, cooked lunch and afternoon snack and light tea.
Our team have food safety training and we are inspected by Ipswich Borough Council to ensure high standards in food provision. We received the highest rating (5) at our last inspection.
Our menus are on a rolling rota to help maintain variety, however a sample of our menus can be viewed below.
